Percutaneous valved stent implantation above the coronary ostia.

چکیده
BACKGROUND In recent years, some experimental and clinical studies on transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) have been conducted. TAVI is indicated in patients with calcified pure or predominant aortic stenosis. The risk of this technique is still high. Aortic valved stent implantation above the coronary ostia might avoid blocking the coronary ostia. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty healthy dogs were selected to establish a canine model of acute aortic valve rupture. The dogs were randomly divided into 2 groups: the rupture model group without any treatment and the valved stent group with percutaneous valved stent implantation above the coronary ostia. The 2 groups of animals were followed up for 3 months. Echocardiography and other tests were performed to assess aortic regurgitation and ventricular function. Acute aortic valve rupture models were successfully established in 16 of 20 dogs. In the rupture model group, the mean aortic regurgitation was 6.8 ± 1.9 ml/s; only 3 of 8 animals survived for 3 months. In the valved stent group, the mean aortic regurgitation was 7.0 ± 2.1 ml/s; valved stents were successfully implanted in 8 animals. Instant post-implantation anatomy showed that the stents were located appropriately. Seven dogs survived for 3 months. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous valved stent implantation above the coronary ostia is feasible and effective as a transitional treatment for acute aortic valve rupture.

Steps toward percutaneous aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND To date, the surgical approach is the only option to replace the aortic valve. Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement has recently opened new perspectives on transcatheter replacement of cardiac valves. We report our experience of aortic valve replacement through a percutaneous technique in lambs. METHODS AND RESULTS A bovine jugular vein containing a valve was dissected and sutu...

PURPOSE We investigated the effects of percutaneous valved stent implantation in the ascending aorta as an alternative treatment for aortic regurgitation in a canine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 16 healthy dogs weighing an average of 18.3 ± 2.1 kg were used for the establishment of animal models of chronic aortic regurgitation by percutaneous aortic valve perforation and balloon di...
متن کاملNeointimal coverage over coronary stent struts crossing the side branch Ostia.
ecently, the incidence of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention has been greatly reduced by the widespread use of drug-eluting stents (DES).1 At the same time, however, safety concerns have been raised regarding the occurrence of late stent thrombosis (LST) after DES implantation.2,3 Although the mechanism of LST has not yet been fully explained, pathological data from a registry ...
